In compliance with an executive order from U.S. President Joe Biden, Penn State is requiring all employees — including Extension, graduate and undergraduate students supported on wage payroll, and students supported on graduate assistantships — at University Park and eight Commonwealth Campuses to upload proof that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Dec. 8, unless they are granted an accommodation for medical/disability- or religious-related reasons. All employees, as well as undergraduate and graduate students supported on wage payroll, who have a disability or medical condition that they believe prevents them from receiving a COVID-19 vaccine can now request accommodations by completing an online request form on or before Friday, Nov. 12.
